Feature 01
Specialized 1.2 Mid-Drive
The Specialized 1.2 mid-drive motor drives the cranks rather than the wheel, working with the bike’s gears for efficient climbing and a balanced feel. Pedal assist up to 28 mph places it in Class 3, so you can keep pace with traffic and shorten your commute.
Feature 02
Removable 500 Wh Battery
A 500 Wh battery integrates into the frame and is both lockable and removable. You can secure it while the bike is parked outside and take it indoors to charge, which is convenient for apartment living and office commutes alike.
Feature 03
Deore Drivetrain and Hydraulic Brakes
A Shimano Deore 10-speed drivetrain with an 11-42T cassette offers a wide gear range for steep hills and fast flats. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors provide strong, predictable stopping, an important confidence boost at higher assisted speeds and in wet weather.
Feature 04
Comfort and Connectivity
An SR Suntour suspension fork with 50mm of travel and 700 x 47c tires smooth out rough roads. The Turbo Connect Display with Bluetooth shows ride information, while integrated front and rear lights, fenders and rack mounts make the bike ready for daily commuting in any season.
